[OS X TeX] Wish for TeXShop : attach custom icon to a given file

[Iraj Kalantari]

As an option, can TexShop when typesetting *myfile.tex*, use the name   *zzmyfile.aux* instead of *myflie.aux*? (And similarly.)

Reason: One might typeset *myfile.tex* and then change a few things, use a related new name, and run *myfile2.tex*.  It would be nice if all auxiliary files of all versions could go to the bottom of the alphabetical list of the files in the working folder.

Iraj.

I believe that even the .pdf file will be there too. You MAY be able to create a (latexmk) engine that does the right thing but I haven't looked into that and TeXShop still won't find the files.
